Community of FHN

An Unofficial and Ecumenical Fraternal Order Of Christian Brothers and Sisters

Mission:

To Encourage the Practice of the

Jesus Prayer and its Traditions and

To be a Community of Such Pentecostal Practice

As a Ministry to the Body of Christ and the World

Vision:

We believe that the Baptist’s prophecy

that Jesus will baptize with the Holy Spirit and Fire

remains to be fulfilled in the Earth;

that the Name of Jesus

is the focus from which the Spirit radiates toward humanity;

and that prayer of the Holy Name brings us

into participation in the Filling of Jesus with the Spirit

and participation in the Sending of the Spirit by Jesus

FHN offers occasional gatherings to hear this teaching

2. Choose a classic saint or teacher from the FHN’s list, and seek during the friendship year to read, study, and internalize the teaching. In this way you become a personal teacher of their contribution and participation in the Christian spiritual tradition and mission. The patron saint of the FHN is Theophan the Recluse. This is a renewal of “guru pedagogy”—i.e. discipling— in Christian life, and models the 2 by 2 pattern.

3. Be in “informal” spiritual direction or continuing dialogue with a member or friend of FHN. This corrects and calls us out of “spiritual individualism,” and is a renewal of the 2 by 2 pattern.

4. Try to attend, participate, or co-lead various of the teaching and mission events of FHN. At the scheduled retreat days for FHN, you might want to present a teaching on your teacher’s life and teachings.

5. Invest $25.00 “dues” per year in the FHN.

We all know what a help it is to live amongst and be intimate with keen Christians; how much we owe in our own lives to contact with them, and how hard it is to struggle on alone in a predominantly non-Christian atmosphere. In the saints we always have the bracing society of keen Christians. We are always in touch with the classic standard.
